FILMING SCHEDULE - TERM ONE - 2018-2019

All students must film 4 events during the school year. AT LEAST ONE of these events must be completed during 1st term, but students may complete their required 4 event filmings as quickly as they'd like. Once you film 4 events (even if you do it all during 1st term), your filming requirement is fulfilled for the year (though the points for filmings 2, 3, and 4 will be added into your respective averages for those terms). Any extra filming you do beyond the required 4 will be extra credit to help boost your grade.

Naturally, if students choose to work by the traditional pace of 1 event per term, that's fine too, but they must complete their 2nd filming by the end of 2nd term (and the 3rd filming by the end of 3rd term). The point of this new policy is to help motivated students complete their required filmings early if they wish, not to allow lazy students to blow off filming all year and try to cram 4 in during 4th term.

***Due to my duties coaching football, ALL events during 1st term (unless otherwise noted) are "bring a camera" style filmings, which means that students must pick up a camera and tripod anytime after 1:30 on the day of the event (or the last day of school prior to the event). If someone on the film crew does not pick up a camera, everyone on the film crew will have to reschedule for another filming; failing to pick up a camera will result in no credit for all students signed up for the crew...so everyone might as well check in (personally or via text) to make sure that the person who planned to pick up the camera and tripod actually did so. Being a coach is an official job I hold at MHS, so once I am doing that part of my job (meaning once I'm engaged in my football duties/activities), I will not be able to leave and return to the studio to arrange a special pick-up of equipment, so the game or event in question will just have to go un-filmed, which will be a significant disappointment to players and parents involved, so please make sure you come through when it is your turn to contribute.
